FRIDAY. AUGUST 8, 1873. In tbe Dark. by w. w. The day bad died a happy death. The evening sky was still aflush, When we two walked with bated breath, Within our hearts tho twilight's bush. The mingled scent of many a bloom Rose softly on the silent air. The grand old forest lent Its gloom. The distant sea moaned 1U despair. My heart was full, the years to come Were dim with dread uncertainty; My foolish lips with lovo were dumb. My spirit answered to the sea. But Mature speaks. If lips are still. And when my soul lound strength at last To breathe In broken words my will. My doubts and fears forever passed. Her firm white band reached out to mine, I clasped It close, yet tenderly. And through night's darkness lelt the sign That life's great Joy bad come to me. "Woman's Taxpayers' Meeting.

FRIDAY. AUGUST" 15, 1873: LIBEETT TOE MAEEIED WOMEN. The Chicago Balance, an ably con ducted monthly journal, devoted" to the interests of woman, and per consequence to "Woman Suffrage, says, in response to some nonsensical prejudice in the True Woman, as seen through the fash ionable eye-glasses of Madam Dahlgren: 'frhdsewho have read our journal at tentively will bear us out In the asser tion that we have never for a moment spoken lightly of the responsible duties of motherhood, or regarded them as of secondary importance, and we have never been able to see what some of our most radical friends seem to claim, that married women can be, to any great ex tent, what is usually termed self-sup porting." .Right here Is expressed a very com mon error that is the direct author of mutm-mlschlef. The Idea that tho du tifes' afad obligations of the high and holy place of motherhood are in them selves onerous Is absurd. The necessary wbrk of rearing humanity ought to be considered quite as re...

I FRIDAY. AUGUST 29, 1S73. HATE WE A REPUBLICAN ORGAN IE THE CITY ? This thought is taking tangible shape and giving itself vent from the brains and tongues of many anxious citizens. Picking up the Orcgonian of Monday, we read, under the bead of "exciting times," a factious tirade against the Re publican primaries, and the office holders who figured therein, as that Journal represents, alone. "Now," we thought, "is a Splendid opportunity for tho Bulletin to read the Orcgonian a much-needed homily upon party fealty and partisan ethics." But the Bulletin didn't eeo it; or seeing, didn't think it necessary to expostulate or scold. So the Republican party of Portland stands to-day in the humill tatlng position of being without an or gan which will treat its official acts with decency, or at least, without an organ that will defend and sustain Its dearest interests. We venture the assertion that if a new Republican daily and weekly news paper, which should contain the ring of true patrio...

The Orcgonian is preparing to bolt. We have always contended that to bolt, for good and sufficient reasons, was the right of an American citizen. But when a public journal, commanding and receiving the patronage of a great organization, sees fit to bolt that organ! zation upon its own responsibility, that journal must of necessity abide the con sequences. An independent journal, or one not committed to any party organ! ...

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 5, 1S73. Written for the New Northwest. Xau. Man breathes of Mature while he lingers on earth; The Joys he derives arc the fruits of his birth; Although he is lowly he delights to bestow The life that he has in others to grow. He lives but to lie where forests have crown; His life is but brief, as Is everywhere known. Jons A. Wojiack. A New Ally. "We are indebted to the Woman's Journal for the following soul-cheering evidence that men's .eyes are being opened: The Cincinnati Commercial, in its leading editorial of the 7th Inst, takes ground iu favor of Woman Suffrage. About fifteen years aco (it seems to us but yesterday), tho Commercial, which had been previously Southern in all its sympatnies, started tUe Unto abolition ists, one morning, by a brilliant anti slavery editorial.

Those who send us a three-dollar money order are only credited with $2 55. We are sorry, but as long as women are not allowed to economize in National house keeping, men will manage badly. THE DEM00BATI0 PLATFOEH. "Were it not that experience shows that man-made politics have become so corrupt that no reliance can be placed in political platforms, we should say that our brethren are promising pretty well for the future. For instance, the first plank "insists upon a strict construe- tion of the Federal Constitution, as nec essary to the inherent rights of the peo ple." But does anybody suppose that Ncsmith would dare to stand on that plank if he thought anybody understood it? It has been clearly proved to every intelligent mind, that the strictest con struction of the Federal Constitution will not abridge ...
